The doctor fought for women’s health in the line ahead of Ukraine

In a village near the Ukrainian front line, a group of women are quiet outside a purple and white that is seen by a dog with blue and yellow to the Ukrainian flag.

For many of these, it was their first time seeing a doctor since war began over three years ago.

Since 2022, Dr Serhii Baksheiev, 53, gained more than 1,000 gynecological examinations of women throughout front-line lines and worn places mainly in line.

“It is a humanitarian volunteer mission. For people who need help, in places where there are no doctors or hospitals, and it is completely free,” he said.

At the beginning of the war, Dr. Baksheiev, an obstetrician and gynecologist, was originally spent his days in a Kyiv bunker who helped children like the above bombs.

The idea for a on-the-road clinic, he said, after later missions to medical volunteers in front facilities due to medical centers and hospitals were completely destroyed.

“We went to Kharkiv and Chanihiv, who was very damaged, and the hardest thing could not provide gynecological services because no tools and equipment, because everything was broken,” he said.

The Dr. Baksheiev and his team should use any available as an exam table, including old sofas, which means he or she kneel on the floor to carry out exams.

Today, surrounding the electric vehicle, it is clear that Dr. Baksheiev is unbelievably proud of its capabilities, including all areas of endless areas available to minors.

Within two-day mission team can keep up to 80 colposcopies – where they checked cervix and verix for signs of cancer or pre-cancererous tissue.

Work is important to people living in remote places.

His visits to the small villages occupied by Russians are often held in secret. He and his team rode a day or two to make their exams and leave before they notice.

The numbers provided by the Public Public Public Health Mismine and seen at BBC’s warring rates for ovarian and cervical cancers falling 17% and 10% each since 2020.

And if doctors like Dr. Baksheiev to go to places to do the exams, they find higher than the average incident of malignant tumors.

On average, up to 4% of all women were diagnosed with malignant tumors after being investigated, according to Frida Ukraine, the medical organization Dr. Bakeieev was voluntary for.

“In public health community, certainly concerned about what happens while the war continues,” he said.

“Not only in terms of physical health, but also mental health – because there is always stress, always psychological trauma.”

Dr. Supron said the government was in charge of the part or completely constructed as many as 964 medical facilities damaged by Russia.

“They work well with who and other international organizations to try a plan on how we rebuild the health system,” he added.

Despite a diagnosis of cancer himself on September 2024, Dr. Baksheiev continued volunteering and provides treating women across the country.
